Police helped bring Iain Packer to justice over Emma Caldwell's murder thanks to soil found in his van. The killer drove a dark blue Iveco and officers found dirt inside the vehicle which matched soil from the scene.
During his trial, the court heard soil taken in 2021 from the site where the 27-year-old's body was found was a near perfect match with the earth they had found in his van.
It was said to be a "97% match" and he was charged by police in February 2022, after the discovery. Police Scotland released pictures of the van this afternoon, as the 51-year-old begins a life sentence over the murder.
The images show the front, back and cab of the van, which is emblazoned with logos saying Alpha Beta Signs Ltd and Alpha Beta Sign Services.
